But there actually ARE left-wing ‘extremists’. I guarantee you’ve met at least one. They’re the ones who always seem to bring everything back around to some sort of armed conflict. They support all of the regular things that leftists support (at least verbally), but have a tendency to fetishize violence and are alllllll about the guns, man. They often express things like ‘acceptable losses’ and ‘wiping the slate clean’. These people DO exist, and they ARE dangerous to the general health and wellbeing of the public. These are the extremists that I think the APA is talking about.
Obviously, this does not mean that EVERY leftist is an extremist or dangerous to people, and I think the APA’s statement is very poorly worded.
Can confirm. I have seen leftists proudly display the communo-anarchist Gadsden flag which implies aggression and violence. These are almost always the same leftists who own guns and advocate for violent revolution & punching fascists.
The report says “two thirds [of violent extremists were] from the far right, about a quarter from the far left, and the remainder were driven by religious or ‘ethnonationalist’ causes”. Violent leftists are absolutely real, and no one should pretend they do not exist. Change requires uncertainty, fear, and discomfort, but violence is optional. The ends never justify the means, the ends are the means.
I read through some of the comments on this post, and although I get the arguments that there is not only disinformation from the Russian side, I must say that the specific intention of Russia's disinformation is to directly destabilize our western democracies and spread the denial of the war and slaughter in Ukraine. And yes, we've gotta act against the false information from western news agencies also (I live in Germany, and therefore I know a pretty good example of this with "BILD"), but the criticism of DuckDuckGo's actions and calling it censorship is, from my opinion, absolutely wrong, because we've gotta protect people from disinformation and stop the Russian war of information.
Hell yes! I was really going to be annoyed if they would've just let all of the controllers become wired only or just more e-waste by default. Would be really cool if they open source it. At some point I had joined others in tweeting about it when they announced the end of Stadia. I had also said that it would be at least useful if they were to see if it could be adapted to work Luna since I think Amazon's own controller works similarly.
